Multi-scale modeling and simulation have become major tools in the
design and optimization of novel materials and their processing. It can largely
save R & D cost by providing material property data in advance so as to
offer new solutions for later experiment. In recent years, computational
simulation and experiment have been complementing each other in the field of
material research, which has promoted the development of new materials. Based
on this, International Symposium on Multi-scale Modeling & Simulation of
Materials was initially held by Computational Materials Science Branch of the
Chinese Materials Research Society in 2005.

The aims of the annual symposium are: (1) to provide an international
platform for peers abroad and at home to present recent achievements and to
promote the development in the field of multi-scale modeling and simulation of
materials; (2) to broaden the view of China’s researchers in multi-scale computational
simulation of materials and to promote the development of computational
materials science and relevant industries in China through international
exchange and communication.

After years’ development, theInternational
Symposium on Multi-scale Modeling & Simulation of Materials has become one of the most
influential international conferences in the area of computational materials
science. It been successfully held for ten times respectively at Fudan
University (2008 and 2013), Tsinghua University (2009), Institute of Metal
Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMR, CAS) (2010 and 2017), Shanghai
Institute of Ceramics, CAS (2011), University of Science and Technology Beijing
(2012), Institute of Solid State Physics, CAS (2014), Beihang University (2015),
Dalian University of Technology (2016). and Institute of Metal Research, CAS
(2017), Northwestern Polytechnical University is selected, after meticulous
preparation and application, to hold the 11th International
Symposium on Multi-scale Modeling & Simulation of Materials in 2018.

TOPICS

Invited
talks will be given by renowned scholars around the world on the development of
multi-scale computational simulation methods for materials, integration of
algorithms and software, and application of multi-scale computational
simulation of materials. Several best poster awards will be given to the young
authors of best posters selected by committee members to encourage scientific
research.

The symposium will focus on topics such as integration calculation and
multi-scale simulation methods, etc. Representatives from industries and
enterprises are also invited. Contributions are welcome on, but not limited to
the following topics:

1) MGI and ICME, including
high-throughput computation and database technology.
